I did trips with them on two separate occasions. Both were great experiences and I was very pleased. It was well worth the money.
Bring your passports, and extra money for lunch and tips for the crew.Although they provide snorkeling equiptment, I believe that it is better to bring your own if you have it. Do not be embarrassed to use a floatation device as the current around the Baths can be tricky and tiring particularly if you are not accustomed to long swims. It will be a fun-filled day and you will have made friends with other passengers by the end of the day.

Make sure if you want to bring your camera do take pictures at the Baths you will need some sort of waterproof case/bag for your camera. When my husband and I went on the New Horizons II 2 years ago, I didn't realize that they didn't provide any waterproof containers for your cameras so I was unable to bring my camera with me. If I went again on this daysail (which I would) that's the one thing I would bring! You'll have a great time! and beware of the Painkillers at Pussers!!! they were REALLY STRONG! - Susan

New Horizons II is a great choice having been once myself. We really enjoyed the crew and the trip - such beautiful views. The snorkling at Guana Island was great - lots of fish.
There is a big rock at the Baths that people jump off of - it makes a great picture!
This may sound silly and may not apply to you, but if you have alcohol, you may consider pacing yourself as it is a long day - no need to ruin all the fun. (We had a young fella on his honeymoon almost passed out by the end - the crew was watching out for him and started making his drinks alcohol free). Plus the first bathroon stop is pretty far - there was a mad dash by the majority of the boat.
Have a great trip!!!
